For others, just how to see the female ghost and catch her was already a big problem.
But for Gu Wuji, the dilemma was other aspects… There were so many people around, was it really okay to do such a thing at this time? And what if the female ghost had no intention of coming out?
The surrounding passers-by watched, and they did not regard Gu Wuji as some invited master.
After all, everyone else looked like a master, even the people brought by Xia Xi were mysterious and weird. But Gu Wuji looked like an ordinary person in disguise. No matter how other people looked at him, they thought he was just a female companion brought by Xia Yangshuo.
Everyone still found it difficult to understand why Xia Yangshuo was the only one who was different at this time and had a female companion. Did this person no longer want the Xia family’s property at all?
At this time, the old man continued to speak, “Of course I also know that this request is difficult to fulfill. Therefore, as long as you can get the password of the safe in the room from her and allow me to open the box, the mission will be considered completed.”
Several people around were shocked, this has obviously become more difficult! It was too difficult to actually ask the ghost for the password to the safe!
Gu Wuji noticed something. According to Mr. Xia’s financial resources, it would be impossible for him to be unable to open a safe after so many years. In addition, coupled with his previous request, it was as if… as if the ghost did not exist at all. And he did this just to prove that this ghost must exist around him. It may not matter what the contents of the safe were, the most important thing was what he wanted to prove.
“Sure enough, I can’t understand the complex emotions of these wealthy families.” Gu Wuji immediately shook his head.
Then, a very shrill scream suddenly came from the outside world, which immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
“What’s going on?”
Under normal circumstances, they would definitely think that someone outside had an accident, but the screams were unprovoked and unreasonable, making everyone feel a little worried. They always felt that something had happened. It was thus definitely something scarier.
Then a servant rushed over with a cold sweat on his face, “Outside, outside, a corpse was found!”
“What? How come there is a corpse?” Everyone’s expressions changed, they did not expect that such a thing would happen at this time. The thing was, they just came to attend the banquet and watch the selection of the heir.
The servant seemed to be so frightened that he almost fell unconscious, but he still said hurriedly, “I don’t know, obviously, obviously there was nothing before, but suddenly, it appeared in the middle of the road!”
“No matter what, call the police!”
“Someone is killing people at this time. Is this a parody of some movie?”
“There are surveillance cameras everywhere. They will be found out soon. Don’t worry.”
“I was trying to, but suddenly there was no signal, and I couldn’t make any calls at all.”
The other passers-by looked stunned, and their hearts felt cold. Although they had vaguely heard about this place, was it possible that this place was really haunted? Why was there suddenly no signal?
Then the lights in the hall flickered a few times and went out. The room suddenly fell into darkness, with only the screens of everyone’s mobile phones still shining.
This situation, coupled with the sudden appearance of the corpse just now, gave people an extremely weird feeling.
For a moment, people were panicked, and the entire hall was in chaos. If everyone present had not been dignified and had to take care of their own image even if something happened, there might have been a stampede.
Several people immediately went out to see the situation and prepared to drive to a place with a signal to call the police. However, after they opened the door and went out, there was no movement outside, and there was no sound of a car starting, which made people feel even more uneasy.
The other masters already had solemn expressions.
“I didn’t expect that the female ghost in this house has become so arrogant… She would actually do such a thing when there are so many people. She is already an evil ghost.”
“It seems that this matter will be difficult to handle today. Fortunately, there are many of us. We should be able to think of ways to set up a few formations so that she won’t dare to come rashly.”
“I’m afraid that the female ghost will get into the crowd, and it will be impossible to prevent her.” The master frowned and said: “After all, if it possesses a person, we may not be able to notice the difference for a while.”
Xia Yangshuo, who was extremely concerned about his life and had a shadow from this, squeezed the talisman in his hand and quickly moved closer to Gu Wuji, only when he was around Master Gu, did he still feel a little safe.
As for Ning Yang, he didn’t care about Xia Wu at all, but immediately walked in the direction of Gu Wuji, saying, “Master Gu, don’t worry, I will definitely be by your side to protect you.”
Gu Wuji fell into silence, and then thought that maybe he could see how Ning Yang dealt with ghosts, and he could find some clues from it, and nodded immediately.
Ning Yang didn’t expect to get such a response from Gu Wuji, and his whole body suddenly turned red with excitement, wishing that this room would be haunted for a little longer.
Xia Yangshuo couldn’t help but remain silent when he saw his unreliable appearance. You still don’t know who will be protecting whom!
But this Ning Yang really looked like a playboy, which gave people an unreliable impression. If Xia Yangshuo hadn’t really seen the skills displayed by the other party last time, he would have suspected that this person just sneaked in to win over Master Gu.
While these masters were discussing in an extremely serious manner, Gu Wuji thought deeply, “I always feel that something is not right about the situation. Although it stands to reason that this place seems to be haunted, the Yin Qi here is not that strong. There is no sense of danger. It’s more like… someone made it up than an actual ghost.”
“Could it be that someone is trying to take advantage of the chaos?” Gu Wuji suddenly realized this and looked in the direction of Mr. Xia.
Of course, there were still many people surrounding the other party. At such a critical moment, although the people around him had cold sweat on their faces and were obviously extremely frightened, they still insisted on protecting the old man.
Gu Wuji noticed this, and his eyes changed slightly. He did not expect that, from this point of view, this old man should be a pretty good person, otherwise others would not care so much about his safety.
But compared to others, Mr. Xia himself looked very excited, and even… could even be said to be very happy, as if something he had been waiting for a long time had finally happened.
“Mr. Xia is actually so happy.” Gu Wuji felt a little complicated in his heart. “It seems that he really wants to see the female ghost. He doesn’t even care whether the other party will take his life?”
He always felt that this was far different from the information he got from Xia Yangshuo. If he hadn’t read the information before, Gu Wuji would definitely think that Mr. Xia and his first wife had been in true love.
“Just let the Black Shadow Ghost go check out the situation.”
The Black Shadow Ghost woke up from his slumber in the past few days. After waking up, his strength had increased, but overall he was not that powerful. The main reason was that his speed had increased a lot, and the level of stealth had also become stronger… It was probably because of the things that happened before that it subconsciously realized the importance of escaping.
In short, it was very convenient to use it to inquire about news or scare people.
Gu Wuji secretly asked the black shadow ghost to go to the villa to see what was going on.
“Don’t be seen casually, so as not to scare others… If someone is in danger, help if you can, and run away if you can’t. Your own safety is more important anyway.” Gu Wuji warned the black shadow ghost.
The black shadow ghost nodded. It had finally been upgraded. The whole ghost was thus filled with the idea of showing off its strength in front of Gu Wuji, and it immediately left excitedly.
“I still hope that nothing will happen.”
….
Xia Xi, who was in the crowd over there, saw the chaotic scene in the venue and smiled, but this smile seemed to be unreasonable and turned people’s heart cold.
No one around him noticed this incident. It would be better to say that Xia Xi’s sense of presence had been very low since the incident happened.
As for the masked person behind him, he remained silent from beginning to end, as if he was a puppet with no consciousness of his own.
“It seems that I don’t need to do anything. Someone has already come to the door. For the sake of helping me, since that person wants to be haunted so much, I can realize his wish… Of course, this will cost his life as payback.”
Xia Xi said this, taking out a very simple-looking rag doll in his hand, muttering something in his mouth, and suddenly there was blood flowing down from the eyes of the doll, which looked extremely weird.
“Go.” Xia Xi whispered, with a hint of pleasure in his voice, like a devil’s whisper, “Do what you want to do. You must have wanted to take revenge for a long time, right? It’s time for you to achieve this goal.”
After the words fell, the doll he was holding disappeared from his hands and went to no one’s known where.
At this moment, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Everyone couldn’t help but shudder, feeling that the temperature in the room had suddenly dropped, “What’s going on? Although the power is out, is the air conditioner still running?”
“Then it won’t be so cold, right?”
Gu Wuji’s expression changed, and he said in a low voice: “That’s not right.”
Xia Yangshuo next to him froze when he heard this, “Master Gu, what’s going on? Do you feel anything?”
“This time it’s true. There is a ghost.” Gu Wuji murmured: “I felt that sense of crisis, but it was not something that existed in this villa at all. Instead, it seemed like something suddenly appeared… something went wrong. There must be something wrong here.”
